KINECITY WORLD TRADE CENTER 7 -- LIGHTS & MORE....

Currently, I'm fascinated with 'visual effects' in public spaces...and one design group that caught my attention again recently is Kinecity by Joyce Schwarz, blogging at www.hollywood20202.blogs.com. Here are some of their projects and some of their proposals. More at www.kinecity.com

• 7 World Trade Center

• The Podium Light Wall is located on the South and North facades of 7 World Trade Center. As people wander on the pavement below a strip of blue light gracefully follows them. This strip of blue light is 7 floors tall and is visible from Freedom Park. The Podium Wall accentuates the individual, and the patterns that are created as many pass by together. Kinecity designed the interactive element of the design for James Carpenter Design Assoc. who were the responsible for the wall as an art piece.

  Dimensions: 180 foot wide by 80 foot tall, x 2
  Method: Camera recognition technology

WHY THIS IN HOLLYWOOD2020.blogs.com?

Because it indicates where public space 'entertainment' is going...it is leading the pack. It shows how shapes and lights and visuals and sounds (not in this one) can entertain.  It is part of what the digerati have called MoMeSo -- Motion Sound & much more..I've written about this before. Do a search on google for it and you'll see.  This is the kind of thing that may be on our LED screens in our homes or in public spaces soon....our walls are not going to be white in the future -- unless you want them that way of course! ENJOY. js.
